JUCCCE's investigation of alternative heating solutions for rural schools led to the creation of Mongolia’s first green building council in February 2011.

Rural Heating (success)

In 2010, JUCCCE sent a team to Mongolia to investigate alternative heating solutions (see video) for 100 rural schools chopping down over 500 tons of live wood per school, per season. What we found was a lack of building codes that led to uninsulated schools and ineffective heating.

Our report led to the creation of Mongolia’s first green building council in February 2011.
